Abstract:
In order to study the heat transfer of dropwise condensation on differentiated micro-nano structure surfaces, various CuO and Cu (OH)2 micro-nano structures were firstly prepared by chemical etching on the surfaces of copper. Then, these micro-nano structures were modified respectively with n-Octadecyl mercaptan by using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) technique, and the differentiated hydrophobic surfaces were obtained with different static contact angle and surface energy. Subsequently, the effects of differentiated microstructures and contact angles on the heat transfer performances of the dropwise condensation were studied experimentally, and the mechanism of droplets coalescence and sweeping in the process of condensation heat transfer was also studied visually The experimental results showed that the heat transfer of CuO-I surface with similar contact angle and different micro structures was very close to that of Cu(OH) 2,which was 1.5 times of that of smooth surface. However, the condensation heat transfer performance of CuO-II surface, with contact angles of 125°, was significantly larger than that of CuO-I, which was about 3 times of the heat transfer of smooth surface. Furthermore, the both coalescence and sweeping frequencies of droplets on CuO-I surface was significantly lower than that of CuO-II under the similar subcooling. © 2018, Science Press.
